What a year – Three Gold Awards and Grand Champion!

The Great British Food Awards celebrate the finest artisan food and drink from across the country. With an impressive array of acclaimed chefs, food journalists and influencers on their judging panel, this is a tough team to impress.

After scooping a Gold Award in the regional category, our Christmas Pudding went on to be awarded the coveted Grand Champion product!

The judge commented: “This Christmas pudding is moist, flavourful and full of festive character. Packed with plump raisins, sultanas, crunchy almonds and tender apple pieces, it delivers a delightfully satisfying texture. A touch of cider brandy adds warmth and depth, balancing the sweetness of the fruit. Each bite is rich and indulgent, encapsulating Christmas comfort in every mouthful.”

Our Christmas pudding also recieved a Gold Taste of the West award, a Gold Food Drink Devon award and a Gold Star in the Great Taste Awards 2025.

We’re so proud of our little Christmas pudding. When we started Figgy’s 18 years ago, we couldn’t have imagined being where we are now. Our first child was newborn back then and making a hundred Christmas puddings felt like making 10,000!

Now that newborn has just turned 18 and Figgy’s is Grand Champion – we’ve come a long way and we’re excited to see what the next 18 years will bring. A huge thank you to all our customers and pudding fans!
